A 75-year-old Edgewater woman is charged with grand theft after police say she failed to ring up at least 155 items from the Walmart where she worked as a cashier.

Sandra Johnson was arrested by New Smyrna Beach police Thursday afternoon for helping to steal items from the store, located at 3155 State Road 44, on Nov. 20, Dec. 14 and Monday, Christmas Eve, according to a police report. Police believe the total value of the stolen items is more than $1,486.

Surveillance video showed that, while checking out the same unidentified customer on those three dates, Johnson would “under-ring the order,” according to the report. “Under-ringing is the act of not scanning each item before bagging it, or covering the UPC code with the code of a less expensive item.”

The report does not indicate how Johnson is associated with the repeat customer and if she kept any of the items police say she helped to steal.

Johnson, who has worked at the Walmart about eight years, “knows how the electronic price scanners at the store work,” according to the report.

A loss prevention officer told police Johnson admitted to one of the thefts, which she estimated was worth $340, according to the report.

Johnson was taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail but has since posted $1,500 bail, records show. She did not immediately return a message left early Friday afternoon.
